Disable gamebar prompt in remote desktop

While connect to a machine through remote desktop, whenever I hit CTRL to open the "quick launch menu"  (the one to do things such as unformat, insert snippets, etc.) The menu in windows 10 "Select to broadcast your game / Select to capture what you just did" flashes across the screen. This only happens in remote desktop.

Is there a way to stop this from happening with SQL Prompt?

    Kind regards

    It seems like you're encountering a peculiar issue with remote desktop connections and the Windows 10 "quick launch menu" interfering with SQL Prompt. This flashing behavior may be due to the way remote desktop handles certain key combinations. One potential solution could involve adjusting the remote desktop settings to prevent the Windows 10 gaming features from triggering when you press CTRL. Alternatively, you might explore configuring SQL Prompt to use a different key combination for its quick launch menu to avoid this conflict in fc mobile latest version altogether.

    It sounds like the Windows Game Bar is being triggered when you’re using remote desktop, likely due to a key combination that's interpreted as a gaming shortcut. To disable this prompt, follow these steps:

    1. Disable Game Bar: Open Windows Settings → Gaming → Game Bar. Toggle off the option for "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game Bar."

    2. Turn Off Game Mode: In the same Gaming section, go to "Game Mode" and turn it off if it's enabled. This may prevent the Game Bar from being triggered during remote desktop sessions.

    3. Registry Edit (if needed): If the issue persists, you can disable the Game Bar via the registry:

      • Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.
      • Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR
      • Set AppCaptureEnabled to 0.

    This should help stop the Game Bar from popping up while using SQL Prompt via remote desktop.

    It sounds like you’re experiencing an issue where the Windows Game Bar overlay gets triggered while using Remote Desktop when you press the CTRL key, particularly when working with SQL Prompt. This happens because Windows interprets some shortcuts like CTRL as commands for game broadcasting or capturing.

    To prevent this from happening, you can try disabling the Game Bar on your local machine:

    1. Go to Settings > Gaming.
    2. Under Game Bar, turn off the option that says **Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game Bar.

    This should stop the overlay from appearing when you hit CTRL while connected remotely.

    It sounds like the Xbox Game Bar is causing the issue. Try disabling it in Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar. This reminds me of Dr. Driving, where smooth controls are key—just like uninterrupted focus is vital for a remote desktop session. Fixing this will make your work (or gaming) much smoother!

  • The issue you're facing with the "Select to broadcast your game / Select to capture what you just did" menu flashing on the screen while using SQL Prompt via Remote Desktop is likely due to a conflict between the Ctrl key and the game bar functionality in Windows 10.

    Here are a few potential solutions to try:

    1. Disable Game Bar:

      • Open the Xbox Game Bar settings (search for "Xbox Game Bar" in the Start Menu).
      • Toggle off the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" option.
    2. Adjust Keyboard Shortcuts:

      • In the Xbox Game Bar settings, check if any of the keyboard shortcuts for game bar functions (e.g., recording, broadcasting) are conflicting with the Ctrl key combinations used in SQL Prompt. If so, change the shortcuts to something less likely to be triggered accidentally.
    3. Remote Desktop Connection Settings:

      • In the Remote Desktop Connection window, go to the Local Resources tab.
      • Uncheck the "Keyboard" option under Local Devices and Resources. This will disable keyboard input from your local machine, preventing the Ctrl key from being sent to the remote machine.
    4. Update Drivers:

      • Ensure your display drivers and Remote Desktop Connection client are updated to the latest versions. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause unexpected behavior.
    5. Third-party Tools:

      • Consider using a third-party tool like AutoHotkey to create a script that intercepts Ctrl key presses and modifies their behavior as needed. This can be a more advanced solution but can provide more granular control.

    If none of these solutions resolve the issue, you may need to consult with Microsoft Support or the developers of SQL Prompt for further assistance. For more assistance visit here
